At that time, they thought that maybe the Taifu Mansion didn't want to have too much to do with the market merchants or the three imperial merchants, so they didn't agree to join the Beijing Chamber of Commerce, and they didn't know that Lin Shuran couldn't get used to their domineering and despicable cooperation methods so he refused.

However, they still took the cooperation documents handed over by Xu Minghan, and the shopkeeper of the Wu family read it first, and before he finished reading it, his face was as black as the bottom of the pot, and even looked at Xu Minghan with a little anger and coldness, and then the shopkeepers of the Yan family and the Bai family also took a quick look, and their faces were similar to those of the Wu family's shopkeeper after reading it.

"It's impossible!" The shopkeeper of the Wu family was so angry that he slapped the table, but Xu Minghan just glanced at him coldly, and his face was a little more intriguing, they didn't agree with this cooperation document, maybe who would suffer the loss!

"The shopkeepers should show this document to your respective family masters, maybe they will accept it!" Xu Minghan said with a smile.

But seeing that the three shopkeepers all glared at him at the same time, they looked at Xu Minghan with a little contempt, and thought that he was whimsical, this cooperation document stated that the Chamber of Commerce shall not ask for the recipe for making sugar and braised meat in any form, and it must unconditionally provide convenience to the Xu family's shops and goods, and in return, the Xu family will give the Chamber of Commerce a bonus of one percent.

"One percent of the bonus? Hmph, what do you think of our Chamber of Commerce? The shopkeeper of the Wu family reprimanded angrily, Xu Minghan's cooperation document was simply humiliating the Chamber of Commerce, so he didn't say anything about it, and just threw his sleeves and left.

Immediately afterwards, the shopkeeper of the Yan family and the shopkeeper of the Bai family also left, obviously this cooperation document could not be passed here in the third-class shopkeeper, Xu Minghan didn't care, he and the others left, slowly walked towards the cooperation document that was thrown on the ground, bent down to pick it up and cherished the dust that did not exist on it.

When writing this cooperation document, Lin Shuran once said such a sentence: "The real chamber of commerce and businessmen should be mutually beneficial, not damage and embezzle the interests of businessmen, otherwise the chamber of commerce will be meaningless." ”

"I'm too much for you!" Xu Minghan carefully folded the cooperation documents and put them into his arms, muttered to himself and walked out of the Penglai Restaurant, I believe that the people of the Beijing Chamber of Commerce should not think about letting him join the club in the future.

In the next half month, the business of the Xu family's sugar shop was better day by day, from morning to night, it was crowded with people who came to buy sugar and candy, and the wealthy family in the city directly found Lin Shuran, and wanted to buy a large amount of white sugar from the Xu family's sugar shop every month, and some merchants who came and went to do business found Xu Minghan and said that they would cooperate with him to transport the Xu family's sugar and candy to other places to sell.

Seeing that the business of the Xu family's sugar shop is so good, there is more than one person who is jealous, in addition to the three imperial merchants of the Beijing Chamber of Commerce, there is also Su Yunsheng, the son of Sima Suhe.

Su Yunsheng has a sugar shop under his name, relying on the identity of the son of Da Sima, his sugar shop business has always been good, and many mansions in the capital buy sugar from his shop, and the Su family's sugar shop has earned him a lot of money over the years.

But now there is another Xu family sugar shop in the capital, and it sells a kind of white sugar that he has never seen before, and directly does the business in the palace, and also robs most of his business in the capital, and now the business of the Su family sugar shop is plummeting, and he is worried about it.

Secretly, he also found someone to investigate the Xu family's sugar shop, although he also found the place, but the sugar workshop was guarded all around, and strangers were never allowed to approach, and the people there were all very vigilant and careful, and even had some martial arts foundation, which was not easy to mess with.

On this day, Su Wanwan went back to her parents' house early in the morning, although Xiao Chen had written a letter of resignation to her, but she had already torn up the letter of resignation, and her father Su He had already talked to her in-laws, Xiao Chen's resignation did not count for her, she was still the daughter-in-law of the Xiao family, and after the Queen Mother allowed her to return to the house, she also returned to the Shilang Mansion.

In the past two months since she came back, she has been behaving well in front of Xiao Chen and her in-laws, to prove that she has really improved, she used to be carried away by jealousy just because she loved Xiao Chen too much, after reflecting on this period of time, she knew that she was wrong, and she would do her duty as a wife and daughter-in-law in the future, but Xiao Chen still didn't care much about her, and even used official business as an excuse not to see her.

Su Wanwan was upset, and she often returned to her parents' house during this time, and after she met her mother and sister-in-law, she learned that her eldest brother was worried about the sugar shop's business, so she went to see him.

"Big brother, haven't you thought of a good way?" Su Wanwan has long heard that a new sugar shop has opened in the General's Mansion, and the business is booming, and Lin Shuran is lucky, Xu Junze saved the orphan of the Ren family, and dragons give birth to dragons and phoenixes, and mice are born to make holes, this Xu Minghan seems to be born to be a master who can do business, he is already so powerful at a young age, and he doesn't know what he will become when he grows up.

Su Yunsheng glanced at his sister, nodded with a bad face, if the other party was a small person, he would have solved it without much effort, but the other party's status and power were not low, and it was a little difficult to move.

Su Wanwan rolled her eyes, approached her brother with a smile, and said deliberately: "Brother doesn't have to be so anxious, what's so rare about this, I see that the Xu family sugar shop is buying brown sugar from the sugar merchants in Shudi, but I don't see anyone selling white sugar to him, it can be seen that the white sugar in the Xu family sugar shop is made of brown sugar, but for the time being, I don't know how this brown sugar becomes white sugar, as long as the source of brown sugar in the Xu family sugar shop is cut off, they can't make white sugar, and when the time comes, the white sugar in the palace will not be available, and they won't have the white sugar in the provinces, so they will definitely offend people. Xu Junze is not in the capital, even if he is protected by the emperor and the queen mother, but the Xu family has not offended people before, there are not many people who send charcoal in the snow, but there will be a lot of people who fall into the well! ”

Su Wanwan's words made Su Yunsheng's mouth suddenly open, and the two brothers and sisters smiled tacitly, and their eyes showed a poisonous light.

In the next few days, Xu Minghan suddenly found that those sugar merchants were inexplicably unwilling to sell sugar to him, and the reasons given were also different, some said that the sugar was bought by other buyers halfway, some said that when it was transported by water, the boat overturned the sugar and entered the river, and some simply said that there were no raw materials in Shudi.

Lin Shuran also learned about this, she asked Xu Minghan that the brown sugar in her hand could last for five days at most, and if there were no brown sugar raw materials, the amount in the palace alone would not be available.

"Mother, I have already asked people to go directly to Shu to find raw materials, but it will take a few months to go back and forth, and the water will not quench the thirst of the near, what can I do?" Even if Xu Minghan has genius-like business methods, it is difficult for a clever woman to cook without rice, so he is also anxious.
